Try machine mart and sealey, I have one of these 1 1/4 T capacity, but seals now leaking, so got to sort out, still lifting but leaking well.
I love them for the lightweight, just grab with one hand and carry.

I use one of the Clarke 1.25 tonne low entry jacks when i'm trackside - really lightweight, easily lifted out the car with a couple of fingers, handle is two piece that locks together etc.



Nice bit of kit, I think I paid about £70 for it...
